Israel's President Refuses to Meet Obama, White House Says Netanyahu 'Spat In Our Face'

http://bit.ly/1zfNXza Dahboo7 On Zeekly: http://bit.ly/1AVK44S While Obama is doing everything in his power to show that when it comes to commiserating with the Saudis, he is first in line, the US relationship with that "other" US ally in the region, Israel, is in a fast and furious state of "crash and burn." Recall, that it was yesterday when it was revealed that President Obama will forgo a visit to the Taj Mahal during his visit to India in order to pay respects in Saudi Arabia after the death of King Abdullah, the White House announced early Saturday morning. Vice President Biden was initially scheduled to lead the U.S. delegation, but he will instead now remain in Washington and Obama will add the stop onto his return from India, where Obama is concluding his trip to "foster economic ties with the nation." This, in turn, takes place a day after Obama announced he would not meet Israel's prime minister when he visits Washington in March, the White House said on Thursday, after being blindsided by the Republicans' invitation to Benjamin Netanyahu to address the U.S. Congress on Iran. http://bit.ly/1ykOIE3
